Why Should I Take the Exam?
Each year, the College Board administers a standardized test called the Advanced
Placement Statistics Examination. The exam is designed to assess student
proficiency in introductory statistics.
Through the AP Statistics Exam, you benefit in three ways.
-
Course credit: Receive credit or advanced standing for an introductory college
statistics course.
In addition, you can save on tuition if you receive course credit.
How Do I Register for the Exam?
If your school offers AP courses, talk to the AP Coordinator. He or she will
help you register. If you are homeschooled or attend a school that does not
offer AP, you can still take the AP Statistics Exam.
-
Call the local AP Coordinator no later than March 15.
